Things We Loved This Week

The wait is over… the official “Tweet Button” hath arrived. This week Twitter announced the button’s launch as an official option for web publishers to count retweets and let their readers share content. Now, we can share stories in the blink of an eye and follow relevant users, such as the websites that posted them. Social networking just got a little bit easier.

Attempting to build out the social media strategy for an upcoming program and coming up short? Try this—a site that will suggest just about any social media strategy under the sun. If you have already used the strategy on the screen, simply click “I’ve already f****** used that one” and a new one will pop up. You can keep clicking for hours (and pardon our language!)
 
Carl Richards, a financial planner and writer for the Bucks blog, has taken doodling to a whole new level. In a continuing series of napkin drawings and posts on the Bucks blog, he has been explaining the basics of money and finance via simple graphs and diagrams. Thanks for breaking it down for us, Carl!

We’ve all heard the age-old saying “money won’t buy you happiness.” According to an article from the New York Times, spending less = increased happiness—which means the fact that consumers have quelled spending habits during the recent economic crisis might actually make them happier. We are fans of this glass-is-half-full way of thinking.


As always, have a fantastic weekend. See y’all on Monday.
